“A trusted mentor once told me that if a couple can meet the ten year marital milestone, the chances of marriage survival are very good. This made intuitive sense to me. You can get to know another person well in ten years – their habits, what sets them off, how to calm them down. The question of compatibility has long since been determined. Also, a history of shared experiences both positive and negative is likely to have anchored the relationship.”
